Next week at tonefiend we’ll be talking about our favorite guitar/music books. I’ll write about some of the titles I find especially useful, inspiring, or entertaining, and I hope you’ll chime in with some of your recommended reading.
Since there’s so much potential material here, I suggest we focus on a different book category each day. Here’s my proposed schedule:
- Monday, June 3rd: Theory and technique
- Tuesday, June 4th: Gear
- Wednesday, June 5th: Repair and DIY
- Thursday, June 6th: Biography and autobiography
- Friday, June 7th: Fiction (guitar mag product reviews don’t count)
Tonefiend Book Week is strictly an experiment, and a selfish one at that. If the past is any guide, the obsessive geeks experienced and sophisticated players who frequent this site will introduce us to lots of lively lutherie-linked literature. And I’ll do my best to keep up!
So scour your bookshelves, real and virtual. This shit is about to get real promises to be a most edifying conversation.

Hiya Joe, I dunno how I found your vid on the ‘tube’ but I’m glad I did. I really dig what you lay down with that kitty strat. I see the looper as just a tool. It’s the chops of the player that makes the grade and you clearly have those. Amen! The guitar obviously does not need to be a spiky, metallic axe for a guy to lay down some serious groove!
Excellent job, bud. Way to go.
Am looking forward to browsing more of your blog.
Peace,
Adnok
